Obama received 5,164,615 more votes in 2012 than Clinton did this year!

Where were all of those Democrats this year?

If any of you who did not vote for Clinton are participating in the violent protests going on now then you should be ashamed because you gave up your right to complain when you did not vote for your candidate.

Let us know what you think in the Comments.

One of the comments made by several cooler headed Democrats since the election is that we need to win over and educate the folks who voted for Trump, my thoughts after the election are we can only do that if we are indeed the party of love and respect and positive progressive change that we claim to be… In having violent protests over the election we paint a very different picture that is not one of love understanding and respect.I will hear many of you saying that your not out there protesting and neither am i but the folks who are are not serving our cause, they are hurting it. Just a thought.
Many of the articles I have read suggest that the working class and middle Americans did not feel as though they were represented by Secretary Clinton, and they pushed back by electing Mr Trump. Many of the folks I have spoken with were avid Bernie supporters but felt that he had not gotten a real hearing by the Democratic party and when he lost in the primaries switched over to Trump or independent candidates as a protest vote,because they see the system as flawed… Another person suggested that many undocumented folks were allowed to vote up to 3 million of them in states that did not check citizenship, and if that was indeed the case then the lead we believe Secretary Clinton had in the popular vote is actually not the case.
I do not know what the truth over all is but I can say that of the number of people I have spoken with that actually admit to voting for Trump said he was not their first choice by a long shot but the choices were not, other than Bernie, anyone they really supported. And yes originally I was a strong Bernie supporter and attended all the caucuses to support him. Even many of my would be conservative friends could see worth in him, even if they did not agree with everything he said. ( seems on some level we are not all as divided as we would be lead to believe ) and while I live in a pretty rural area in one of the few pretty solidly blue states most people here are still being quite civil to each other regardless of political affiliation.
One thing is for sure there is a lot of information posted on the web, some of it true, some half truths and much that is blatantly false, we owe it to ourselves to be sure that when we repost or send on a piece that we have truly checked the sources to make sure we are sending factual information, or we just look lame.
Just my observations…
